KX500 WOT ISSUES
cbxracer30:
At least pull the drain plug off the bottom of the carb and check for water its 17mm careful not to spill it till you can look and see if there is any water in it. I've never run amsoil. Hows the plug look now? white or black?CBX

Pulled the drain plug and no water, and the plug looks pretty black.

I changed the plug when I put it all back together and also changed the fuel and cleaned the carb. I done all of this prior to riding for first time. I am running amsoil saber professional at 32:1 ratio. Thanks

Thats tough. The line: "ran good, only sat for two weeks," sound very simular to my situation. Two years and thousand dollars later.

I got the bike running the other day and it runs good other than WOT, it just falls on its face at WOT. I would just like to know what all would cause this problem. I am at about 3500 feet and the main jet is 168, dont know if it is starving for fuel at WOT or what. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

It could also be the KIPS timing is off. That will make a KX500 pull like a 250...
jforbesautotech:
Is their any way to know if the kips timing is off without pulling the cylinder. They seem to be moving fine .
